The analysis begins with Pirandello's representation of journalism in the moment in which Mattia discovers his "death"; it continues with the bureaucratic writing responsible for Mattia's social identity, and finally it focuses on the tomb inscription that concludes the novel. What role does Pirandello attribute to writing in the search for human identity? How does writing relate to death as a fundamental theme of II fu Mattia Pascal? What are the implications of Pirandello's order of writing for the autobiographical dimension of the novel?Item Open Access "Scrittura obbediente e mistica tridentina in Veronica Giuliani"(Annali d'Italianistica, 1995) Lollini, Massimo, 1954-This article studies the relationships between mysticism and autobiography in the works of Veronica Giuliani and in the context of Baroque religion and culture.
